LA's 'Musical' Hotels

January 31, 2007 at 5:25 AM | 0 Comments

Yesterday, we looked at some Los Angeles hotel options for a friend looking to  get some "Award Season Boondoggle." Today we found a more subdued query on the A Luxury Travel Blog from a Randi I. who was looking for a hotel in LA with good musical entertainment.

I am just overnighting there and I will be by myself, but I'd like to hear some good jazz, folk, or classical music if possible. I'm not really into traveling around a lot or even renting a car, but if there were some place that had entertainment in the hotel itself that would work very well for me.

Randi also goes on to mention that LA might be culture shock for her as she is coming from Alaska and might not want to leave the hotel much. Totally understandable as LA can be scary but a shame if you've traveled so far to get there.

Luxury Travel's suggestions and HotelChatter's suggestions for Musical LA hotels after the jump.

Paul at Luxury Travel answered Randi's query with these suggestions:

· The Beverly Hills Hotel which just hired the Geoff Aymar trio.
· The Westin LAX which has live acts come through every so often as does the Crowne Plaza LAX.
· The Graciela Burbank, an independent boutique hotel that claims: "We talk about music. Music is part of our underlying welcome. Our music has no attitude, no pretensions." Jazz, New Age, popular tunes, and old standards are frequently heard here. Only problem is you're in the dreaded Valley.

Our suggestions skew a little younger, and for those who want to at least spend a few days in town and are willing to leave the hotel to see some of LA's legendary music scene. We suggest:

· The Mondrian in West Hollywood for its close proximity (next door) to the House of Blues concert venue and to the hotspots of rockers like the Rainbow Room.
· The Renaissance Hollywood at Hollywood and Highland because it's just a short trip down from the Hollywood Bowl (pictured above.)
· The Culver Hotel which is close to the famous Jazz Bakery and while it's an up and coming neighborhood, it does not have much of the craziness--traffic, plastic people, agents barking on cellphones--that LA is known for. So leaving your hotel room shouldn't be too much to take.
